Abstract:

In the first term of teaching, every teacher probably be full of enthusiasm and energy, rising happily to the challenge of any problems that crop up. However, towards the end of this term teachers may well find themselves feeling both physically and emotionally drained. At this point I would like to offer a few suggestions for lessons that will give variety to teaching and give a rest at the same time. Although these are not lessons that it would be used every day of the week, there is no need to feel guilty when a bit of a break is needed.

Abstract:

Teaching classification extends beyond teaching any one classification system, but involves a variety of thinking approaches to the possibilities of how to organize. Teaching classification in the 21st century involves recognizing that the traditional parking of materials co-exists with more flexible ways of classifying new formats, objects, digital files, etc. Involving students in the logical and systematic underpinnings of various classification systems along with the technological advancements that offer new ways to organize and sort launches the thinking process. Classroom simulations serve to introduce students to a range of classification problems, including organization of objects and images along with discussions of user perspectives and anticipation of future use of the item. The group simulations and discussions surface new issues while presenting basic concepts through active participation.

Abstract:

As the profession of pharmacy has transitioned from a chemistry-centered profession to a patient-centered profession, the role of medicinal chemistry in the curriculum has evolved. There is decreased emphasis on memorization of chemical structures, and priority placed on relating these structures to ADME, physical properties, and pharmacodynamics. Simultaneously, the delivery of this content has shifted from traditional lecture format to other styles. Here we discuss some new approaches to teaching medicinal chemistry.

Abstract:

Music history is a core requirement for most undergraduate music degrees. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of music history teaching in music degrees in Higher Education (HE) in four different countries (Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Greece and England). It also aims to evaluate a new music history teaching model that was developed for a university in Cyprus. The new model consists of approaches focused on a student-centred learning method that introduces the use of primary sources and cooperative learning. Three studies were conducted: a qualitative study (Study 1), a mixed methods study (Study 2) and a qualitative evaluation study (Study 3). In Study 1, music history teachers (N=6) were recruited from universities in Cyprus. Study 1 employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) using the data from semi-structured interviews. In Study 2, music history teachers (N=11) were recruited from the Czech Republic, Greece and England to participate in a qualitative study, and their thinking was compared to a further sample of undergraduate music students (N=86) who were recruited from the Czech Republic, Greece and England. Study 3 designed and tested an intervention in Cyprus evaluating a new approach to teaching music history. The study was evaluated through a pre-test and a post-test questionnaire. Engeström’s culturalhistorical activity theory was used to analyse the findings of all three studies. Results revealed that the most frequent teaching approaches used in music history courses are lectures, the use of audio and audiovisual materials and discussion. While teachers from the Czech Republic, Greece and Cyprus use a teacher-centred learning approach, most teachers from England apply student-centred learning approaches to music history courses. Students from the participating countries generally perceive music history as having relatively little value and they are not satisfied with the existing teaching approaches. A number of them further question traditional approaches to teaching music history. Upon completion of the qualitative evaluation study in Cyprus, students gained a more positive opinion of music history and approved of the new teaching approaches that were used.

Abstract:

English language teaching has gone through a radical shift of emphasis in the last forty years, beginning with the communicative revolution in the mid-1970-s. The English language teachers are no longer all alone in their role as trainers as they are able to bring parts of the outside world to the classroom. Beyond the trainer’s “chalk and talk” and the trainees’ language and communication practice there is a range of materials in different media, which help the trainer to turn the Business English classroom into a varied learning/teaching environment. While printed text remains the most common training medium, both the ELT world and the non-ELT world give us access to a wide range of video and audio material, and increasingly multimedia.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to examine to what extent teachers in Swedish EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms need to adapt their teaching methods and strategies to best handle students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). According to Skolverket (2020), a lot of students diagnosed with ASD fail to reach the knowledge requirements for a pass in their English classes in school. The paper presents relevant research retrieved from databases ERIC and EBSCO and discusses the findings in relation to the research questions and the Swedish curriculum. The research presented show students with ASD often struggle with attention, anxiety, and primarily listening comprehension in the classroom. Methods researchers argue counteracts the obstacles for the autistic students aim to reduce anxiety, enhance communication, and complement verbal instructions with visual support.

Full text

Abstract:

Researchers have indicated that mindful teaching approaches support students and educators throughout the learning process. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of counselor educators with a daily mindfulness practice in the classroom with culturally diverse students. Relational-cultural theory (RCT) was the conceptual framework. Relational cultural theory concepts of relational connections and disconnections were used to explore the participants' lived experiences implementing a mindful teaching approach. Purposeful sampling yielded 10 participants who participated in semi-structured interviews. Using an inductive approach, the data were analyzed to identify essential themes. Thematic analysis was conducted by hand using literature-based codes and lean coding. Findings extracted from the literature review were used to pinpoint level one themes. Lean codes, or emergent themes, were then placed under each literature-based theme. The literature-based themes included: mindfulness practices, contemplative practices and the experience of educators, mindfulness competencies, interconnectivity, treatment outcomes, therapeutic presence, relational empathy, awareness and acceptance, self-care, and critiques. The emergent subthemes included: a mindful attitude, evaluation, modeling for students, creativity in the classroom, mindful orthodoxy versus personal experiences, authenticity, and cultural awareness. Findings may be useful for counselor educators who seek a greater capacity for awareness, acceptance, empathy, self-care, creativity, and presence when working with diverse students in the classroom. Implementing a mindful teaching approach can contribute to counselor educators meeting the needs of their diverse students.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Abstract Clinical teachers’ experiences of nursing and teaching Clinical nurse teachers’ experiences of nursing and teaching undergraduate nursing students on clinical placement are explored in this thesis because of concerns about the quality of nursing students’ learning outcomes. The aim was to identify variation in clinical teachers’ conceptions of nursing and their conceptions of, and approaches to teaching undergraduate nursing students. The study was significant because clinical teachers’ conceptions of nursing and approaches to clinical teaching have not been researched previously. Underpinning the study was a phenomenographic perspective on learning and teaching. This perspective views learning and teaching in terms of how they were experienced. Experience of nursing and clinical teaching, for example, can be understood in terms of related ‘what’ and ‘how’ aspects. The ‘what’ aspect concerns how nursing and clinical teaching were understood. The ‘how’ aspect is concerned the ways nursing and clinical teaching were approached. Experience of nursing and clinical teaching were described and analysed in terms of the separate ‘what’ and ‘how’ aspects and are understood in terms of the relationship between each of the aspects. Data from semi-structured interviews with twenty clinical teachers were analysed using phenomenographic research techniques (Marton & Booth, 1997) in order to identify variation in how nursing and clinical teaching were experienced. To extend the description, the research also sought to identify the empirical relationships between each of the aspects investigated. Key aspects of variation in clinical teacher experiences of nursing and clinical teaching and associated relationships have been identified. The results suggest that clinical teachers who adopted a student-centred approach to teaching conceived of nursing and clinical teaching in complex ways. The phenomenographic approach provides for an experiential and holistic account of clinical teaching: a perspective absent in nursing education research literature. The research findings extend knowledge that will assist with preparation and support of clinical teachers.

Abstract:

Combinatorics is a growing topic in mathematics with widespread applications in a variety of fields. Because of this, it has become increasingly prominent in both K-12 and undergraduate curricula. There is a clear need in mathematics education for studies that address cognitive and pedagogical issues surrounding combinatorics, particularly related to students' conceptions of combinatorial ideas. In this study, I describe my investigation of students' thinking as it relates to counting problems. I interviewed a number of post-secondary students as they solved a variety of combinatorial tasks, and through the analysis of this data I defined and elaborated a construct that I call set-oriented thinking. I describe and categorize ways in which students used set-oriented thinking in their counting, and I put forth a model for relationships between the formulas/expressions, the counting processes, and the sets of outcomes that are involved in students' counting activity.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate what educational approaches and strategies that are used by five teachers of English as a second language (ESL) and how they differ between three different schools. This was done through reviewing literature about educational approaches and strategies in ESL and analyzing the responses from a questionnaire given to five teachers in grades seven to nine at three different schools. The results showed a wide usage of the following approaches and strategies: using computers, including drama and role-playing, watching films and TV programs in English, listening to radio, news, or songs in English, using code-switching, encouraging pupils to speak like native speakers, teaching about cultures where English is spoken, and promoting discussions and social interaction. The results of this study showed that most of the differences exist between the individual teachers rather than between the schools, when it comes to the use of and attitudes towards these approaches and strategies. However, the two which differed the most, judging from the responses, were: using code-switching and encouraging pupils to speak like native speakers. In these two cases it was possible to see differences both between specific schools and teachers.

Abstract:

Today Swedish society is surrounded by the English language, more so the importance to know how to read English is therefore essential. Students in consequence need the support from teachers to find suitable strategies to master their reading.This degree project’s aim is to find out if teachers use different methods to teach reading, and if so, why. This paper will present the reader with the theories and literature on the definition of reading strategies. Initially, various researchers will be present the two most commonly used strategies, the cognitive and the metacognitive. Although different researcher claim different This study is based on interviews with two teachers in elementary school, grade 4-6. The results and conclusion of this study is that the combination of different methods and the teachers’ adaption to each class and individual is what provides the students with the confidence to learn. Not only does this make it easier for the students to reach the requirements set for them, but this also gives them a willingness to learn. Furthermore, the study provides information on if the teachers working experience does have an impact on the methods they using when teaching L2 learners reading strategies.

Abstract:

This thesis reports a programme of research consisting of five factor analytic studies which explores students' perceptions of teaching in relation to their approaches to studying. It does so using a number of different versions of the Approaches to Studying Inventory, which were modified throughout each of the five studies, along with different types of course perception items. Other types of items, concerned the particular ways in which students used their private study time, and the reasons they had for studying in higher education, were also used in some of the analyses. It was concluded that the types of course perception items generally used to obtain student feedback and evaluation on teaching and courses were not particularly useful in trying to establish empirical relationships with approaches to studying, probably due to the fact that they reflected rather general aspects of teaching and learning, and so suppressed individual differences in response. In response to this finding, items were developed which asked students to reflect on which types of lecturer, examination, course and tutor they would prefer. Analysis of these items produced interesting and meaningful response patterns indicating that 'meaning orientation' was empirically associated with preferences for types of teaching likely to encourage a deep approach, while 'reproducing orientation' was related to preferences for contrasting types of teaching which were likely to promote a surface approach. Thus the types of teaching which students said they would prefer were related partly to their intentions in studying. The range of preferences to be found within a class makes it difficult to interpret student 'feedback' questionnaires.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis uses documentary analysis and historical research methodology to trace the history and development of Teaching Cantonese as a Foreign Language (TCFL), and examine the textbooks developed and teaching approaches used. It also uses empirical research tools, such as questionnaire surveys, interviews and diary studies, to elicit current learners' needs, and then it attempts to examine whether the textbooks and approaches used can satisfy learners' needs. Historical data shows that TCFL started in the 17th century by European missionaries and traders and was developed further in Hong Kong by missionaries and government officials. Learning materials and textbooks developed from early phrasebooks/dictionaries to textbooks with different teaching approaches, such as grammatical approach, grammar-translation approach, repetition and drilling approaches and functional-situational approaches. The historical data also shows that the background and needs of the learners have been changing over time and recent learners' backgrounds and needs have become more complex. Nowadays learners of CFL come from different parts of the world and from different professional fields. Their needs, reasons for learning, learning habits and difficulties have become heterogeneous. In order to cope with learners with different cultural backgrounds, the recent trend is to develop syllabuses and teaching materials based on language situations with cultural emphasis. The thesis shows that the teaching materials available and approaches used cannot completely cope with learners' needs nowadays. This thesis suggests using an eclectic teaching approach, which combines pronunciation training, drilling exercise, communicative activities and interactive tasks to teach Cantonese nowadays. Teachers and textbooks developers also need to incorporate cultural elements into language situations both inside the teaching materials and the language classrooms. The thesis provides valuable analysis and information for Cantonese teachers, material developers, curriculum designers, decision makers in the teaching institutions to design suitable curricula and teaching materials for the learners.

Full text

Abstract:

This research is based on the hypothesis that response-based approaches to teaching literature and an outcomes-based system of education (OBE) are conceptually incompatible. This thesis claims that reader response involves processes that cannot be accommodated pedagogically within a system based on pre-determined outcomes. Furthermore, the kind of assessment prescribed by OBE is inappropriate to the nature of reader response. The hypothesis is based on three main premises. The first is that each reader brings a highly individual and complex set of personal schemata to the reading of imaginative texts, and these schemata have a decisive influence on the nature of a reader’s response. This means that response during imaginative engagements with literary texts tends to be idiosyncratic, and therefore largely unpredictable. Because of this, it would be inappropriate for a teacher, working within an OBE system, to try to teach towards pre-selected outcomes and to attempt to ensure that these outcomes, based on responses to literary texts, are in fact achieved. The second premise is that readers’ imaginative engagements with literary texts are essentially hidden events, which even the individual reader cannot fully bring to the surface and articulate. Because they are complex, and to some extent inaccessible, it would be inappropriate to assess the processes of response in the form of tangible evidence that a particular kind of response has taken place, or an outcome achieved. The third premise is that responses need time to grow and develop and do not merely happen quickly and cleanly. Consequently, aesthetic response, already a complex and inaccessible process, has no clearly distinguishable beginnings or endings. It would therefore be inappropriate to try to pinpoint the exact nature and parameters of a particular response or fragment it into a discrete unit of competence or knowledge. A two-dimensional problem emerges. The first is a conceptual one: whether there is an inherent tension between encouraging response to imaginative literature on the one hand, and accepting the rationale for OBE, on the other. The second dimension of the problem is empirical: whether teachers of literature experience any tension of either a conceptual or a practical nature when following response based approaches within the OBE system of Curriculum 2005, and if so, what they do in order to cope. In exploring the conceptual problem, the argument of this thesis is supported by reception theory and reader response criticism. The former provides key theoretical principles and insights that illuminate the nature of aesthetic reading, while the latter describes and analyses the nature, extent and manifestations of response in educational contexts, underpinned by both reception theory and empirical research. Together they offer evidence that personal response is determined by a complex range of processes, and is the core activity in reading for aesthetic purposes. This thesis also examines the conceptual basis and the structure of OBE as interpreted in both Curriculum 2005 and the revised National Curriculum Statement. The purpose of this is to establish the extent to which the philosophy and modus operandi of these curricula are rooted in notions of competence, and the requirement that learners give tangible demonstrations of pre-determined outcomes being achieved. If it is found that the curricula do lean heavily on pre-determined outcomes in regard to competencies that must be demonstrated, it may be concluded that 1) reader response activities are incompatible with OBE in a South African context, and 2) the potential exists for such incompatibility to create obstacles to creative and effective literature teaching. This can lead to difficulties for the teacher, who will then have to adopt acceptable strategies to cope with the situation. These strategies may ultimately be to the detriment of the pupils, particularly if the teacher seeks a compromise between genuine response and the kinds of activities that would yield precise, palpable measures of attainment that can be easily demonstrated. Exploring the empirical dimension of the problem involves investigating the responses of both teachers and teacher trainers to the experience of promoting response-based literature teaching and learning in an OBE environment. In order firstly investigated whether the practitioners do encourage reading response as a core activity in reading for aesthetic purposes. The extent to which practitioners have a sound grasp of the conceptual issues relevant to this research is also investigated. Insight into such issues depends on teachers and teacher trainers understanding the nature of reader response, on the one hand, and the rationale and structures of the relevant OBE curricula, on the other. Whether, and to what extent, practitioners experience tensions through their awareness of conceptual incompatibilities is also investigated. It should be borne in mind that practitioners work in real contexts in which a variety of complex factors play a role in determining how they respond to pressures from the environment. It cannot therefore be expected that teachers and others involved in delivering the curriculum will be able to reflect on purely conceptual issues without being influenced to an extent by more practical or logistical considerations. However, this study argues that the extent to which they are able to identify the relevant factors that affect the conceptual underpinnings of their practice will determine the degree to which their responses support the argument of this thesis. Together, the empirical and the theoretical findings offer qualitative evidence that should illuminate the nature and extent of the problem.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to focus on how guitar teachers and pedagogues in the pop, rock and jazz genres use single-string methods of teaching and playing with students at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The goal was to provide experienced and upcoming guitar teachers with ways and methodologies to focus on single-string playing and teaching, which can lead to guitar students getting a full introduction to the guitar’s potential as a musical instrument.Through interviews conducted with five guitar teachers who have students from beginner to advanced levels of playing, I compared and contrasted the respondents’ teaching backgrounds, personal introductions to single-string playing, single-string method usages, perceptions of student responses, views on single-string playing and guitar method books, and perceived benefits of single-string playing for their students. From the study results, I concluded that a single-string teaching method is a feasible method to teach students from beginners to advanced levels such topics as improvisation, note location, ear training, sightreading, music theory, chord arpeggios, articulations, scales, string bending, hand movement, finger independence and hand positions. It is the teacher’s responsibility to adapt their materials and exercises based on where the students are in their learning.
Syftet med studien var att fokusera på hur gitarrlärare och gitarrpedagoger i pop, rock och jazz genrer använder single-string i sitt spelande och som undervisningsmetod med gitarrelever på nybörjar, mellan och avancerade nivåer. Målet var att ge erfarna samt blivande gitarrlärare tillvägagångsätt och metoder i hur de kan fokusera på single-string spelande och undervisning, vilket kan ge gitarrelever en fullständig introduktion till gitarrens potential som ett musik instrument.Genom intervjuer med fem gitarrlärare som har elever från nybörjare till avancerade nivåer jämförde och kontrasterade jag respondenternas bakgrunder som lärare, personliga introduktioner till single-string spelande, sätten på vilken de använder single-string metoder, och synpunkter på single-string spelande och metodböcker samt deras uppfattningar om fördelarna som elever får av single-string spelande. Resultatet av forskningen visade att single-string metod är rimlig att använda i undervisning av elever från nybörjare till avancerade nivåer inom ämnen som improvisation, notinlärning, gehör, notläsning, musikteori, ackord arpeggio, skalor, strängböjning, handrörelser, fingersjälvständighet och handställningar. Det är lärarens ansvar att anpassa sina läromaterial och övningar till elevernas inlärningsnivåer.

Abstract:

'Self-study' is a methodological approach that sets out to improve learner and teacher interactions by engaging with problems faced by educators on a daily basis. Through a creative engagement with theory and my on-going experiences as a teacher, employing selfstudy methodology has allowed me to challenge ideas and assumptions that can permeate learning and teaching, including roles, relationships, curricular content and design. This process of unsettling was achieved by drawing attention to the highly contextualised nature of my everyday interactions in relation to my pupils. The notion of context is central to this study and supported me in identifying links between a range of theoretical ideas, including: social constructivism, complexity theory and phenomenology. The connections made at a theoretical level then enabled me to explore my current practice through a period of sustained reflection. As part of this reflective activity, I was motivated to conduct a smallscale intervention in the form of a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project with my class of Primary 1 and 2 children. The rich and meaningful knowledge created through an on-going process of walking and reflection, supported me in bringing participatory and enactivist approaches to teaching and learning to life. Engaging in the self-study has, therefore supported me in contributing possible roles and methodologies that express an interpretation of teaching and learning, which engages with learners' localised and on-going experiences, focussed upon the making of their worlds.

Abstract:

Grammar is an essential part of language learning. Thus, it is important that teachers know how to efficiently teach grammar to students, and with what approach - explicitly orimplicitly as well as through Focus on Forms (FoFs), Focus on Form (FoF) or Focus onMeaning (FoM). Furthermore, the common use of textbooks in English education in Sweden makes it essential to explore how these present grammar. Therefore, to make teachers aware of what grammar teaching approach a textbook has, this degree project intends to examine how and to what degree English textbooks used in Swedish upper secondary schools can be seen to exhibit an overall explicit or implicit approach to grammar teaching. The aim is to analyze three English 5 textbooks that are currently used in classrooms in Sweden, through the use of relevant research regarding grammar teaching as well as the steering documents for English 5 in Swedish upper secondary school. The analysis was carried out with the help of a framework developed by means of research on explicit and implicit grammar teaching as well as the three grammar teaching approaches FoFs, FoF and FoM. Thus, through the textbook analysis, we set out to investigate whether the textbooks present grammar instruction explicitly or implicitly and through FoFs, FoF or FoM. After having collected research on the topic of how to teach grammar, it became apparent that researchers on grammar teaching agree that FoF is the most beneficial out of the three above mentioned approaches, and thus, we decided to take a stand for this approach throughout the project. The results of this study showed that two out of three textbooks used overall implicit grammar teaching through FoM. Moreover, one out of the three textbooks used overall explicit grammar teaching through an FoF approach.

Abstract:

This study consisted of an online survey of members of the National Art Education Association Elementary Division in which 29 participants answered questions related to their instruction of English language learners in the elementary art classroom. Four participants participated in follow-up interviews as the researcher sought to answer the research questions: What pedagogical and curricular adaptations in the art classroom may be effective strategies for teaching English language learners? What are the perceived challenges of having a linguistically diverse art classroom? Participants offered a variety of pedagogical adaptations but suggested few curricular adaptations. Participants revealed challenges related to their teacher preparation and efforts to communicate clearly with students. The findings of the study also raise concerns that the needs of English language learners may not be recognized or met due to some educators’ lack of awareness of cultural differences and the assumption that art is a universal language.

Full text

Abstract:

Matrix training techniques arrange instruction for stimulus relations that facilitate emergent responding to novel stimulus arrangements, which is a phenomenon known as recombinative generalization. The current study compared two common matrix training approaches, an overlapping (OV) design and a non-overlapping (NOV) design, with respect to arranging relations targeted for training. Two, typically-developing toddlers were taught compound action-object labels in either an OV or NOV matrix training design. Results suggest that an OV matrix design facilitates recombinative generalization more effectively than a NOV design.
